[i] Based on the assignment of ancestral haplotypes, taken from Degli-Espostl et al. (1992).

[ii] Total length of comparison minus indels.

[iii] Nucleotide diversity is given as the average number of substitutions per 100 nucleotides, corrected by Kimura's two parameter model.

[iv] Minimum and maximum nucleotide diversity from a 100-nucleotide window.

[v] Transition/transversion ratio used to calculate nucleotide diversity.

[vi] Nucleotide diversity does not include indels, which have been calculated separately. Consecutive indel sites are counted as a single event.

[vii] Taken from Horton et al. (1998).

[viii] Nucleotide diversity based on cosmid overlaps within the T cell receptor (TCR) complex, taken from Rowen et al., (1996).

[ix] Silent nucleotide diversity based on a set of autosomal sequences, taken from Li and Saddler (1991).

[x] Based on a 4-Mb SNP map around APOE, taken from Lai et al. (1998).

[xi] Clone names taken from Horton et al. (1998).

[xii] a–f correspond to Figure 1.

[xiii] The Hampe sequence does not delineate the HLA alleles of the template used for the α block sequence. Based on sequence matching of the HLA-A locus, we have designated it as the 62.1AH, taken from Degli-Esposti et al. (1992).
